      You don’t know what a boomer or humor is if you think the far side fits that bill.

            Come on man, this is 100% boomer humor. I don’t see the boomer category as something negative in this case because these comics are pretty good. The humor is original but the style is clearly old. Just look at the art style, this is something you’d see 20 years ago in comics. I don’t think this is accidental, it is totally intentional.

      It’s common for detective shows to have a serial killer with a very specific style of murder, and then introduce a “copycat” killer as a twist in the plot. This is just a parody of that.

      probably just a rip at various detective shows?

Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
